Unit Test using Test-Driven Development Approach to Support Reusability

Abstract

Unit testing is one of the approaches that can be used for practical purposes in improving the quality and reliability of software. Test Driven Development TDD adopts an evolutionary approach which requires unit test cases to be written before implementation of the code. TDD method is a radically different way of creating software. Writing test first can assure the correctness of the code and thus helping developer gain better understanding of the software requirements which leads to fewer defects and less debugging time. In TDD, the tests are written before the code is implemented as test first. The number of defects reduced when automated unit tests are written iteratively similar to test driven development. If necessary, TDD does the code refactoring. Refactoring does to improve the internal structure by editing the existing working code, without changing its external behavior. TDD is intended to make the code clearer, simple and bug free. This paper focuses on methodology and framework for automation of unit testing.
